On Friday we headed over to Falls Lake to camp....we were all so excited to get everything set-up and spend the weekend together. It took a few tries to get the tents (esp Mom & Tony, they were hilarious) up where we wanted and everything unpacked (literally truck-loads...haha...both Titans were packed). After being overheated from unpacking everything we headed down to the lake to take a dip. The kiddos loved playing in the water, and the boys tried to swim on their own a bit. 
After dinner the day changed drastically...the rain started. What a night of thunder, lightning and rain...lots of rain... Luckily we heard it coming and had a chance to throw everything in our tents and shelter. We had a rough night in the Jones tent as water started coming in the seams of our tent...oh yes....we moved everything into the middle of our tent hoping nothing would get wet. After moving so much around we woke Winnie up so she ended up in bed with us for the rest of the night. It was a special time having her sleep with us (first time too), she was so cute cuddling up to us and always having to touch one of us.
The next morning we awoke to realize that not only was another bad storm coming but a lot of our stuff had gotten wet througout the night (and sadly ruined some of the board books I bought for Winnie at the sale last weekend). So we scrambled the next morning to make s'mores and take the boys on a boat ride before our camping trip came to an end. They LOVED their first s'mores!!
Our camping didn't really end as we moved everything back to our home and "camped" out there together. The Lord worked through it all though....Tom ended up having to work on Sat and Sunday so was able to spend more time with us all being at home. He did have a break or two, this time he was grilling up our chicken kabobs for dinner, yum (hilarious- it was still raining Sat night!)...
Winnie is making some funny faces lately....here are a few....
On another note....Argh, did Deanna (the Bachelorette)really chose Jessie!?! Man alive I hope it lasts!!

This is the first time I thought camping actually looked fun! I hate you were rained out, but you made the most of it! Love Winnies faces--esp the last shot--I think she'll use that one a lot when she wants to get her way:)!
Glad you had a good weekend despite the rain. Winnies pictures are so adorable and her hairband is so cute.
